The B-Greek phpBB forum is now just about exactly 1 year old. As of today, we have:

Total posts 5806 • Total topics 957 • Total members 850

When we first announced the move from a mailing list to a phpBB forum, a lot of people were very concerned. This thread is for reminiscing about the old mailing list, thinking about the advantages and disadvantages of shifting to the new format, wondering whatever happened to some of our old friends, etc.

I have to agree. I enjoyed the mailing list when I first started coming online for Greek discussion, but this format is much more friendly (especially with Unicode instead of Beta Code!!).
